Going out of Athens ending in Monte Carlo on the Navigator.
Any hotels that you all would suggest?
The other issue is there will be 3 in a room. I know it is Europe... We did it on the Diamond- Barcelona to Rome found hotels that would take 3.
Would appreciate any help that can be given.
thanks, Jan

Jan ~ We stayed at and LOVED the Grande Bretagne in Athens. Superior accommodations, service and location! In the Hotels section, way back, I wrote a short review of that hotel.
So glad you're doing that cruise. It should be absolutely wonderful!!

We thought the Hilton was lovely. The service was excellent and the room large.

If you have some Starpoints to use, I think its 10k starpoints, the Grande Bretagne is the place to be, spectacular in every way, and by far the best place to stay in Athens:

You might want to have a look at: AVA Hotel, Apartments & Suites. It's #1 on tripadvisor.com (Grand Bretagne is #2). They appear to have rooms that accommodate more than 2 people, and is highly rated, and in the Plaka. It's also very small, so might be hard to find a vacancy.

You all are wonderful!
Wendy- checked into the AVA hotel- looks great- but no space...
Actually I have been putting in 3 for all the hotels- and no one has space.
Might have to stay at the Hilton and then bring in an roll away bed... It is now just one night.
Keep coming up with any other suggestions!!

Hi Jan
We stayed at the Athens Hilton and were really pleased with the property and service. If you're a Hilton Honors member, see if you can redeem points for your stay. Also look into upgrading to Club, if possible. We were upgraded and the upgrade included breakfast. Room was really nice and spacious, offering a beautiful view of the Acropolis.
Rather than request a rollaway, ask for a double/double accommodation (two double beds). If someone doesn't mind sharing a bed, that may work for the 3 of you.

I have been following this post as we have three days post Voyager cruise there in late October. We used Hilton points for our three nights because the room rate was very high. I can't remember if we have ever been upgraded with a reward stay, but I guess we can always ask. Unfortunately, Tom is only gold though and maybe you need the platinum status for the upgrade. Cheers, Pam

Hi Pam,
We are only Silver and received an upgrade for our reward reservation. I feel it never hurts to ask. Often times, you get a very welcome "yes."

We loooooooved the Intercontinental. We got a club room. The view from the club deck is spectacular. We would sit out there at night driking champagne and looking onto the Acropolis. They had really good moussaka in the hotel restuarant. The staff in the club were exceptional.
